No more cape shit once you hit 30. Do some praxis instead or read a good book.
I’m not smug, I’m just annoyed that I have fewer people to talk with shit about because they refuse to branch out from media meant for literal children. Like how we’re all here because it’s nice to discuss socialist ideas. Having people to talk with who are on the same wavelength as you is nice. I met a guy at a wedding last month who said his hobby was watching family guy. Like what the fuck do you say to that.
i know people who literally have a special interest in barney. the fuckin’ purple dinosaur. like you can’t operate in an autistic space if you’re unable to get on with people who don’t share a show with you, so the alternative is generally learning to appreciate others enjoying shit you don’t
I (neuroatypical) would rather you didn’t hold us up as a shield against criticism of Disney adults.
I (neuroatypical) would rather they do, actually, and actually have solidarity with people who are blatantly being hit with barely disguised ableism
It’s such a small jump from “marvel special interest is reactionary” to “furries are bourgoisie decadence” that it’s deeply concerning to me
I didn’t think you were being smug at all, but there is a growing small sect of people on the left who believe that it is abelist or a bad thing to criticize the current obsession with pop media.
Like dog, I’ll still find it an unhealthy part of capitalist and consumer culture that there are 40 year old men who do nothing but collect video games or funko pops.
Yeah you can enjoy things, but don’t make media your entire existence.
Unhealthy by what metric, and how are you defining making media your entire existence that somehow doesn’t apply to autistics?
There’s a growing number because autistic liberation and the ND movement more generally are growing movements, and they challenge normative assumptions about things like interests. If you want to criticize mass media, you’ll have to dig deeper than a surface level digust with people being “weird” about it if you genuinley don’t want to give people shit for being weird.
Why do you think grown men getting lost In a world of toys and video games is a good thing? You arguing for consumerism media obsession really off putting to me.
It seems almost like you’re saying only autistic people have an unhealthy obsession with pop culture.
Sorry, it’s not ablelist to think grown people having an obsessive need to consume pop culture is a bad thing.
I get the feeling your defending this behavior because you probably play a ton of video games or something.
